Witanlore: Dreamtime is a single player RPG video game being developed by Druid Gameworks for Windows PC. In Dreamtime, players assume the role of a young Ursine from one of four main tribes, whose destiny has not yet been determined. At the game’s start, they have reached the age of maturity known as the Chut’que (chewt kay) a time to undergo an honored ritual, the dreaming. Guided by the clan seer, the dreaming is an astral journey where Ursines travel into the spirit world to stand before their patron goddess and receive divine messages about their destiny. www.youtube.com
However, things will not be so easy for our intrepid player. For the first time in the long oral history of the tribes, the dreaming does not go as planned. The player finds more than a god waiting for them in the mists and is left with disconcerting images of a shrouded figure whose intent seems far from benevolent.
The story’s focus hinges upon the legend of an ancient relic and the player’s quest to retrieve it in an attempt to avert the looming threat foreshadowed in their vision. Through this journey the player will unravel the true purpose of the lost relic and of the Ursine tribes entrusted to its safekeeping, but will it be enough to divert the danger away from their family and homeland?
Druid Gameworks is currently running a Kickstarter, raising funds to bring in contracted artists to help them finish specialized aspects of development on Witanlore: Dreamtime. Without the surge of funds from crowdfunding the project will not be completed for a 2014 release. Please stop by and show your support!
